【📝概述】
🇪🇸 在西班牙 A Coroa 莊園工作的朋友 Marta 將兩款非常棒的葡萄酒作為禮物送給我。
A Coroa 莊園位於西班牙加利西亞 Galicia 、比爾佐 Bierzo 西部、奧倫塞省 Ourense 北部的錫爾 Sil 河岸邊的 DO Valdeorras 區（意為黃金谷）。 錫爾谷 Sil Valley 屬於微氣候，會將大量降雨的大西洋氣候模式和導致夏季炎熱的大陸氣候模式結合在一起。
葡萄藤通常種植在陡峭的斜坡和梯田上。 所有完美熟成的葡萄的條件都在這邊成立！A Coroa 是1750年成立的最著名、最古老的莊園之一。
他們於2002年開始了一個新計畫項目，使莊園更加完整、現代化。 他們專門從事格德約 Godello 葡萄酒生產，雖然沒有如鄰居 Rias Baixas 的 Albarino 那樣出名，但我認為這值得讓更多人熟知 Godello 的美好，因為它可以產生精緻、果味、花香和結構良好的葡萄酒 。
今天介紹的第一款酒是：A Coroa 200 Cestos 2019 - DO Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain.
他們的頂級格德約 Godello 是由莊園裡最好的老葡萄藤（超過70年）製成的，並從位於地面高度550-650公尺之間最好的地塊 Valdeaugas 精心挑選出來。
釀造熟成：手動收取葡萄並在法國橡木桶中發酵6個月。
【🍇葡萄品種 & 酒精含量】
100% 格德約 Godello, 13.5% ABV。
【👀視覺印象】
淺檸檬色。
【👃嗅覺香氣】
明顯的檸檬蛋黃醬、檸檬、葡萄柚、蘋果、醋栗香加上些微桃子、杏桃與白色花香(如金銀花)的香氣結合。 真的很香！
【👅味覺品嘗】
明顯的香氣與鼻子相似，具有精美的檸檬蛋黃醬和微鹹的尾韻。 中等偏高的酸度、中等酒體、中等酒精度。
由於在橡木中熟成，口感很棒；具有豐富的酒體及質地。鹹香礦物質感，非常新鮮的水果香氣和明亮的酸度。
【🍷簡單結論】
一款優雅的葡萄酒，配有純淨的果香、花香並結合了酥脆的礦物質及良好的酒體。將 Valdeorras 風土表達得淋漓盡致， 到目前為止是我最喜歡的格德約 Godello 之一！
【📝Brief intro】
🇪🇸 2 fantastic wines were sent to me as a gift by my friend Marta who works for the estate “A Coroa” located in the DO Valdeorras in Galicia, Spain.
The DO Valdeorras (meaning the valley of gold) is located west of Bierzo in Galicia on the banks of the river Sil in the north of the province of Ourense. The Sil valley has a micro-climate that combines Atlantic influences with quite a lot of rainfall and continental influences resulting in hot sunny days during the summer. Vines are usually planted on steep slopes and terraces. All the right conditions are met for the perfect ripening of the grapes! A Coroa is one of the most famous and oldest estates there, established in 1750.
They started a new project in 2002 resulting in the complete modernization of the estate. They are specialized in the production of wine from Godello (a white grape variety), not as famous as the Albarino from the neighbor Rias Baixas, but which I think deserves recognition since it can produce exquisite, fruity, floral and very well-structured wines.
First wine I’m gonna introduce is: A COROA 200 Cestos 2019 - DO Valdeorras, Galicia, Spain.
Their top-level Godello, made from the estate's best old vines (over 70 years old) and best young ones carefully selected, from their best plot, Valdeaugas, arranged in terraces and located between 550-650 meters above ground level. Grapes are manually harvested, 6 months of fermentation in french oak barrel.
【🍇Grapes & ABV】
100% Godello, 13.5% ABV.
【👀To the eye】
Pale lemon.
【👃Nose】
Pronounced fruity aromas of lemon curd, lime, grapefruit, apple, gooseberry, hints of peach, and apricot combined with flowery aromas of honeysuckle. It smells really good!!
【👅Palate】
Pronounced aromas similar to the nose, with an exquisite lemon curd salty long finish. Medium+ acidity, medium body, medium alcohol. The wine feels absolutely great on the palate, it has body, rich texture thanks to the oak aging, a saline minerality, very fresh fruity aromas and bright acidity.
【🍷 Conclusion】
An excellent expression of the Valdeorras terroir, an elegant wine w/ pure fruity, flowery aromas combined with a crispy minerality and a good body. Really impressive, one of my fav Godello so far!
